hide the search window

hi,
when i am using bibleworks in class i often have it open purely for bible-reading purposes, and a word document or something else open on the other side of the screen. Is it possible to hide the search window and display only the command line above the browse window?

Until someone comes a long with a definitive answer to your question, you might try resizing the browse window as big as it will go (which actually is ALMOST the entire window) and then type ctrl-shft-b and that will bring up a "portable" command line).

You can also have just the "portable" command line open in your Word doc.

Do either of these two workarounds give you what you need?

I did try resizing the browse window as big as it will go, but when i do this for some reason bibleworks runs up all of my CPU capacity and slows my computer down to a near-halt. I have no idea why this would be so, but it is consistent, as soon as i resize the browse window (so that the search window becomes visible again the CPU % bibleworks is using drops from 99% back down to 0%).
Thanks for the tip about the 'portable' command line. I will probably use this, in conjunction with the parallel window view suggested by Michael...

I tried this. I couldn't get it to work for my bible texts. I was able to fudge it a little, but upping my screen DPIs.

I'm sure it's the carpenter and not the tools. But still, everytime I try to get this to work, I hit my thumb with the hammer.

Weird. The only thing I can think of is that you might have changed fonts and not had the Browse Window radio button selected. Otherwise this is how I've changed my Greek and Hebrew font sizes so I can read them well.
